Progesterone side effects or OHSS?

Hi everyone,

I'm on day 4 of progesterone supplements (pessaries and intramuscular oil injection). This also corresponds with day 4 post egg retrieval so I'm just trying to determine what could be a side effect of the progesterone and what could be as a result of egg retrieval (and potentially OHSS...)

I'm experiencing period cramps since yesterday (I would say mild-moderate) and I'm also experiencing pain/discomfort whenever I go to the toilet. I would say it's likely constipation but not sure if it's just the cramps.

I was told I was at (low) risk of OHSS so to monitor any symptoms. I'm just wondering if anyone can advise on either progesterone or OHSS symptoms. Also waiting for a call back from my clinic today to discuss but if anyone has any experience I'd really appreciate it! 🤞🏻
